The Mind Of OverlordTomala
Work2

So, about my weekend.

I’m writing this since I probably won’t be making it on tonight to BS and play. The first part of my weekend has been put on hold since I have to go to work early tomorrow to cover for someone. My boss is making an effort to make sure I get a day off closer to my other one, but if he fails I get overtime… so it’s win-win really. I’ve been really enjoying my new job. The pay and hours are about the same which sucks, but the job itself has been pretty cool, and the team that I work with is a lot of fun. I work around a lot of technology, and I’ve been selling lots of electronics (mainly consoles, TV’s, streaming devices etc) and I already know how most of it works. Plus I can provide insight on certain things if customers aren’t sure about something. Although I’ve had to endure some very interesting people during my adventures thus far. Like one woman who tried to convince me that 500GB drive 1 TB are the same amount of drive space… or another one that wanted to know if the Windoze phone she was interested in had Android on it. Then I get guys from time to time that don’t know how to pronounce HDMI. I hear some really interesting ones, like HDIM, H1DR etc etc.

So, tonight will be a bit of a blog night. Since I don’t really have time for much else. 😛

Rick and Morty invade gaming universes

I like how Rick and Morty continue to invade gaming. I just found this video, and while I don’t really play Dota 2 I was really amused by it.

Seems to be official. Unlike the Rick and Morty Skyrim mods, although those did get a tip of the hat from Rick and Morty’s creator.

It’s the Steam sale and I’m still stuck in Skyrim.

As I said in an earlier post I’ve had to start my Skyrim adventure from scratch. It didn’t take me very long to get back to where I was at, in fact I’m way above what my previous level was. I thought it would be fun to share some more insight on my adventures.

With great regret I had to remove the Nigel mod. It made my game extremely unstable which in retrospect is kinda funny. Leave it to Nigel heads to mess everything up. It’s the next best thing to trollfaces. :v Still, I kinda miss them. Everywhere I went on an adventure I would see them.

Speaking of trollfaces.

I installed a mod that adds the legendary trollface as a moon, including other rage comic faces. They change with each moon phase. So far it’s been rather enjoyable, and much safer than the Nigels. :v

I didn’t really change much on my character. Other than I found a cloak that lets me keep my tail.

This way I can continue to look ridiculous. I’ve mainly been trying to stealth as much as possible in this game. Although in some particular cases (like in the pic above) my inner pyro emerged and set ablaze anyone unlucky enough to cross my path… or something. Must have been those devil horns.

Summer is in session (and the asshats are out in full force)

I can tell because all the 12 year olds have been out in full force trolling some of my servers. I’ve banned 7 people within the last few days for various reasons. All in Garry’s Mod… Sometimes I think it would be easier to just ban the entire gmod community and let people in one at a time. 😛 But I don’t have the time of day to be gatekeeper, so I’ll just read the chatlogs.

Oh well, there is a plus side to summer. BBQ’s! We’ve been enjoying the weather these last few days. It’s been in the 80’s. I even went for a walk today and took a picture of some flowers.

Hopefully this will be a good summer.

Skyrim Open Thread

I hated doing it but I had to start my Skyrim adventure back from the start yesterday. I learned that if you kept adding and removing mods further and further into your game it can potentially become unstable. It got annoying having to restart the game after frequent crashes. I even tried running a program called LOOT but it couldn’t fix my saves. If anything it made the game crash even more. But it feels good to start fresh anyway, and since I’ve restarted I’ve only had a couple weird instances I’ve been able to get around. Although there were a couple saves of my current game that refused to start. I had to backtrack a little to get the game to work again which I thought was weird.

At least I have a better understanding of how the game works.

From Skyrim to Audiosurf 2

As promised I’ve been playing other games the last couple days. Mainly been playing Audiosurf 2. They released a new update that changes the interface and makes it easier to search for internet songs. It looks like they’re trying to make it look more big picture friendly.

I kinda like it actually. Makes things look a bit more open. But yeah, I’ve really been losing myself in music lately, so this is a good time waster.

Weekend Open Thread

For the first time in a looong time I actually had Saturday and Sunday off. Since it’s memorial day weekend the street fair has been going on so I’ve actually managed to catch it this year. I’ve enjoyed some nice fish tacos and yesterday I bought a nice warm hooded poncho.

I’ve still been playing an absurd amount of Skyrim. At home, at lunch etc. Most of my co-workers play it too, but for console apparently. I’ve been having fun describing my adventures with mods which has caused them to drool a considerable amount. Bragging that you killed a dragon by flying after it and breathing fire is a good way to make jaws drop. The modding has completely sucked me in, and I’ve been having trouble getting out of it. I think tomorrow I should take a break from it and play something else… if the temptation doesn’t overwhelm me. 😛
